title: [Sequential approach to the diagnosis of ischemic cardiopathy].
abstract: The detection and the assessment of ischaemic heart disease require the utilization of several diagnostic techniques and skills; non-invasive tools, like echo-doppler cardiography and nuclear cardiology, are gaining more and more importance. This paper describes a sequential approach to the diagnosis of several manifestations of ischaemic heart disease--angina, unstable angina, post-infarction angina, pump failure, arrhythmias--, purposing a sequence of tests for each manifestation, starting from the simplest techniques to end with more complex investigations. Indications to coronary angiography and to medical or surgical therapy are also discussed.
